One Short Week, Two Big Milestones

Rai, just yesterday I wrote that this week you attained a big milestone: reaching and grabbing for objects in front of you. Just after I wrote that story, you showed us that the taste of success is one you savor. Even as we celebrated your reaching and grabbing achievement, you were ready to move on, conquering another developmental milestone.
Before yesterday, when we lay you on your tummy, your face would get smothered in the blanket or on the floor as you couldn't or didn't quite know how to raise your head. Yesterday, with an unprecedented show of neck and back strength, you curled your back and raised your head high, looking right at us with a big smile on your face. You've attempted this pre-crawling pose in the past, but could never, until now, bring your head up so high and strong.
Just to make sure that we noted your success, you held that position for a good 5 or 6 minutes. Crawling by 4 months? Maybe.
